•   Default sort: The original wikitext order.

•   Alpha sort: A case-insensitive ASCIIbetical sort, excludes numbers.

•   Year sort: Only sorts by the first 4 digit numbers under 2100.

The page to disambiguate

link

Pipe-separated list of titles to disambiguate regardless of Dab solver's internal logic. This can be used manually check links to a primary topic[1] or disambiguate Set index articles.

summarytrail

A string to append to end of the automatic edit summary generated by the tool. [2]

editintro

Renders the content of the given paramter similar to WP:EDITINTRO above the box. Note: CSS classes are unavailable, use style=. Used by {{Disambiguation needed}}.

Translations are stored in JSON format at User:Dispenser/Dab solver/i18n.json. Only NoLinksInText is needed to remove the translate request message. The string selection priority is Your language code, * (Universal), en (English). The @doc should help explain what each string is used for.

If this is too daunting, you can copy and translate the basics block and post it to the talk page.

  Note: The DAB Challenge and DPL bot are separate and currently not capable of operating on other wikis.

You will need to set RequestPolicy, NoScript, Privacy Badger, Disconnect, etc. from blocking the following domains:

• tools.wmflabs.org - Relatedness and link suggester
• wikipedia.org - Articles and disambiguation content
• upload.wikimedia.org - Icons and article images
• chart.apis.google.com (optional) - summary graph for recent changes

Can you enable the save button? Can "This is a minor edit" and "Watch this page" checkboxes be set to my user preference or watch status?

^{[needs update]} Because of a MediaWiki security feature, if the save button were enabled without the correct edit token it wouldn't work for logged in users, instead landing you on a preview page with an error message. Being able to look up a user's personal settings for preferences and watchlist is restricted. Since the Toolserver rules (rule 8) specify that tools cannot ask login information such features will not be provided. There is a workaround in Preferences where you can change the default behavior of watching pages and provide an edit token to temporarily enable the save button.
